  • Baby Blues and Beyond

    What a year! It's been a while since we last uploaded an episode - and between then and now, there's been so much that happened. The rollercoaster ride of being new parents has many ups and downs, and is ultimately one of the most taxing but rewarding journeys a couple can choose to take. In this episode, we talk about the struggles of raising a baby, from the post-birth baby blues, all the way to the struggles of traveling outside a 2 hour radius - and all the rewarding things that come with your brand new tiny human. Thanks for being here, we appreciate you!

  • OMG it's a baby!

    Half a year after we said "try na natin magrecord ulit regularly", we're back with another episode! This time, we talk about what the last few months were like going into the last trimesters of Raei's pregnancy, and bits and bobs of what we can remember from the day our baby's birth -- going to the clinic for a checkup, and ending up three hours later with a beautiful baby girl. If you have questions or suggestions for this episode and the next, reply to our stories (or send us a DM) at @yaaanph on Instagram or join our Telegram group in the link at raei.me/yaaan

  • First Gig in the Pandemic
    What is it like to meet friends you’ve made online for the first time in real life? Join us today as we talk about our experience going to a social event with friends and finally putting faces to names (and in most cases, full bodies to portraits!) for the first time since the pandemic began, be retrospective about days past of concerts and gigs, and be pensive about predisposition and social batteries.

  • Gaslighters in the wild
    Gaslighting, a term we would not have known 10 years ago, has become one of the most popular words in recent years. In this episode, we talk about our experiences with gaslighting—from Starbucks baristas to work colleagues. How do you know if it’s happening to you and how do you deal with it? And more importantly, how can you make sure you don’t become a gaslighter yourself?

  • Sunk Cost
    We’ve all heard it: “Sayang naman!” Whether it’s about our choice of career paths, our choice of vocation, or a past relationship— we’ve all heard people express their well meant but misguided sense of disappointment or disbelief. But what gives? In this episode, we talk about sunk cost, why the future matters more than time spent in the past, and how we can appreciate and respect the fact that different people have different goals and use their time differently.

  • Convincing Powers
    The national elections are just a few weeks away -- we have to put in more effort than ever to persuade the undecided (and not completely decided) folks to let Leni and Kiko lead. But how? Is there a wrong and right way when convincing someone? In this episode, we talk about how powerful convincing is, not just for campaigning but also for every day life, and how to do it in a way that doesn't make another person feel small or feel bad. After all, convincing is all about letting the other person know that what you want is as big of a win for them as it is for you.
